Intuition [1]

In a recent letter to me you wrote: “But the Intuition sees in flashes and combines through a constant play of light – through revelations, inspirations, intuitions, swift discriminations.” Since all these terms connect up with “Intuition”, perhaps “intuitions” is unnecessary.

“Intuition” is the word for the general power proper to that plane, but it works through a fourfold process expressed in the four words connected together here. If you like you can substitute “intuitive intimations” for the third.
